5Free the glass from the channels. Carefully
remove the glass upwards through the
window aperture.

Note that the channels are adjustable: wind
the window up and down after securing the
channels and adjust them if necessary for
smooth operation. The regulator mechanism
can also be adjusted (see illustration).
Rear door
7Remove the two screws which secure the
window channel (see illustration).
8Remove the two screws which secure the
glass to the regulator mechanism. Free the
glass from the channel and carefully lift it out
through the window aperture.9When refitting, secure the glass and the
channel, then make sure that the window can
wind up and down smoothly before
proceeding further. Adjust the channel or
regulator if necessary.
10Refit the weatherstrip and trim panel.
1The window regulator mechanism is riveted
to the door skin. A blind rivet gun will therefore
be needed for successful refitting.
2Remove the door interior trim panel and
peel back the foam rubber sheet.
3Support the glass and remove the two
screws which secure it to the regulator
mechanism. Wedge or tape the glass in the
raised position.
4When applicable, disconnect the window
motor multi-plug (see illustration).
5Remove the two slide screws and drill out
the four rivets which secure the regulator (see
illustrations). Remove the regulator through
the large lower aperture in the door.
6When refitting, secure the regulator with the
two slide screws, then fit four new rivets in the
rivet holes.
7The remainder of refitting is a reversal of
removal.The windscreen, the rear (tailgate) window
and the rear quarter windows are all secured
and weatherproofed by special adhesives. The
equipment and skills required to remove and
refit this type of window are beyond the scope
of this book. Consult a Ford dealer or a
windscreen specialist.
1Open and prop the bonnet.
2When an under-bonnet light is fitted,
disconnect its wire. Remove the screw which
secures the light, pull the wire through the
insulation panel and remove it.
3Remove the centre screws from the plastic
fittings which secure the insulation. Prise the
outer parts of the fittings out of the bonnet and
remove the insulation panel.
4Refit by reversing the removal operations.
Feed the under-bonnet light wire into place
before finally securing the insulation panel.
Early models
1Open and prop the bonnet.
2Remove the two screws which secure the
centre section of the grille.
3When fitted, remove the headlight washer
jets by pulling them out of their fittings.
4Release one end of the grille side section
from its fixing next to the direction indicator
lens (see illustration). Carefully pull the side
section away from its mountings until it can be
separated from the grille centre section.
5The centre section can now be released
from the other side section by raising the tang
on the catch which holds the sections
together, then twisting them apart (see
illustration).

10Remove the securing screws and detach
the C and D-pillar trim panels.
11Remove the top of the facia panel.
12Remove the securing screw from the base
of the A-pillar trim on each side. Detach the A-
pillar trim panels.
13Remove the headlining through the
tailgate, peeling it back from around the sliding
roof (when applicable - see paragraph 15).
14Refitting is essentially a reversal of the
removal procedure. The services of an
assistant will be required during the initial
stages of refitting.
15When a sliding roof is fitted, the headlining
is secured around the aperture with double-
sided adhesive tape.
1To remove a manually-adjusted mirror, first
pull off the operating lever cover. Remove the
triangular trim panel which covers the mirror
mounting: this panel is secured by a single
screw concealed under a cover. Pull out thecontrol retaining clip (see illustrations).
2For electrically-adjusted mirrors, remove the
door interior trim panel (including the triangular
trim panel) and peel back the top part of the
foam sheet for access to the mirror multi-plug.
Disconnect the multi-plug.
3For all mirrors, support the mirror and
remove the three securing screws. Lift the
mirror off the door, disengaging the base from
the rubber seal (see illustration).
4Refit by reversing the removal operations.
1Remove the mirror from the windscreen by
“sawing” through the adhesive bond with a
piece of nylon cord.
2Clean the mirror base and the mounting
area on the windscreen with methylated spirit.
Both items must be perfectly clean, and the
windscreen must be at room temperature
(20°C/68°F approx).
3Peel off the backing paper from one side of
the special adhesive patch. Press the stickyside of the patch firmly onto the mirror base.
4Warm the mirror base and patch to 50°
to 70°C (122°to 158°F). Immediately remove
the backing paper from the other side of the
patch and press the mirror firmly onto the
mounting area. Hold it in position for at least
two minutes, and do not attempt to adjust the
mirror for at least half an hour.
5Beware of using proprietary adhesives to
attach the mirror to the windscreen: not all are
suitable and some may leave residues which
are difficult to remove.
Models before April 1992
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Remove the instrument panel surround,
which is secured by four screws. Pull out the
heater louvre panel.
3Remove the facia top (crash pad), which is
secured by five screws and four spring clips.
With the screws and clip removed, a good tug
will free the top from the clips next to the
windscreen (see illustration).
4Remove the carpet and soft trim from below
the facia on both sides. It is clipped in place.
5Remove the driver’s side lower trim panel,
which is secured by six screws. One of the
screws is only accessible after removing the
air vent grille. Unclip the AWS bulb failure
warning module, when fitted (see illustration).

connectors from all the switches, then release
the loom from any relevant retaining clips and
manoeuvre the switch panel off the handbrake
lever.
20Slacken and remove the seven centre
console retaining screws (two at the front, one
on each side and three at the rear) then lift up
the console and disconnect the wiring
connector from the rear cigarette lighter.
Remove the console assembly from the car
(see illustrations).
21Refitting is a reverse of the removal
procedure.
1Disconnect the battery negative lead.
2Remove the interior light by carefully prising
it out of the console and disconnecting it.
3Remove the sliding roof control handle or
switches (as applicable).
4Remove the two retaining screws from the
front of the console. Pull the front of the
console down and then slide the assembly
rearwards to release it from the two clips (see
illustrations). These clips may be quite tight.
Disconnect the clock.
5Refit by reversing the removal operations.1Move the seat rearwards as far as possible,
then remove the two front retaining bolts (see
illustration).
2Disconnect the assist spring from under the
driver’s seat. (Moving the seat forwards will
reduce the tension on this spring, but also
makes it harder to get at.)
3When applicable, disconnect the seat
heating and/or adjustment motor multi-plugs.
4Move the seat fully forwards and remove the
three rear retaining bolts. These bolts are
under plastic covers (see illustrations).
5Lift out the seat, complete with adjustment
mechanism and seat belt buckle.
6If a new seat is being fitted, transfer the
adjustment mechanism and other components
to it.
7Refit by reversing the removal operations.
Tighten the seat retaining bolts to the
specified torque.
1Remove the front seat as described in the
previous Section.
2Remove the side trim pieces from the seat.
Free the air tube by removing Its two securing
screws.
3Separate the backrest from the base of theseat by removing the four retaining bolts.
4Remove the backrest cover by unbending
its retaining tags and sliding it off.
5Expose the air cushion by lifting up the foam
padding. Cut the hog rings (wire loops) which
secure the corners of the cushion and remove
it with the air hoses.
6When refitting, use new hog rings. Position
the cut-out in the cushion level with the
second spring in the backrest.
7The remainder of refitting is a reversal of the
removal procedure.
1All models are fitted with inertia reel front
seat belts as standard. Rear seat belts are
available as an extra.
2Maintenance is limited to periodic
inspection of the belts for fraying or other
damage. Also check the operation of the
buckles and retractor mechanisms. In case of
damage or malfunction the belt must be
renewed.
3If it is wished to clean the belts, use only an
approved upholstery cleaner or a weak
solution of detergent, followed by rinsing with
water. Do not use solvents, strong detergents,
dyes or bleaches. Keep the belt extended until
it is dry.
4Belts which have been subjected to impact
loads must be renewed.
1Remove the cover from the belt top anchor.
With the adjustable type of anchor(see
illustration)the cover is removed by levering
out the adjuster button and removing two
screws.
2Remove the anchor bolt or nut and detach
the seat belt runner from it. Note the position
of any washers or spacers.
3Carefully pull out the door aperture
weatherstrips (front and rear) from the B-pillar
(see illustration). Unclip the pillar trim.

61Refer to Chapter 7 part B.
Fuses
1The battery positive (live) lead is protected
by a fusible link. If this link melts, a major
short-circuit is indicated and expert advice
should be sought before repairing it.
2The main fuse/relay box is located under the
bonnet, near the bulkhead on the right-hand
side. It contains up to 24 fuses and nearly as
many relays (according to equipment). Fuse
applications are listed on the underside of the
fuse box lid (see illustration).
3There is an auxiliary fuse box inside the
vehicle, accessible after opening the glovebox
(see illustration). An in-line fuse for the radio
is located under the facia on the left-hand
side, near the heater.4The“blade” type fuses are colour-coded to
show their current rating. A blown fuse can be
recognised by the melted wire link in the
middle.
5To renew a blown fuse, first switch off the
circuit concerned. Pull the old fuse out of its
holder, using tweezers or long-nosed pliers.
Press in a new fuse of the same rating and try
the circuit again.
6If the new fuse blows immediately or within
a short time, do not carry on renewing fuses
but look for a short-circuit in the wiring to the
item(s) protected by the fuse. When more than
one item is protected by a single fuse,
switching on one item at a time until the fuse
blows will help to isolate the defect.
7Never fit a fuse of a higher rating (current
capacity) than specified, and do not bypass
fuses with silver foil or strands of wire. Serious
damage, including fire, could result.
8In some positions (such as for power
window and seat adjustment motors) circuit
breakers are fitted instead of fuses. These are
normally self-resetting once the cause of the
overload has been cleared.
Relays
9If a circuit or system served by a relay
develops a fault, always remember that the
problem could be in the relay. Testing is by
substitution of a known good unit. Beware of
substituting relays which look the same but
perform different functions(see illustration).10To renew a relay, simply unplug it from its
holder and plug in the new one. Access to the
relays in the main fuse box is as described for
the fuses. Access to the relays located behind
the facia is achieved by removing the facia
top.
11The sliding roof relay is located in the
overhead console.
Control units and modules
12The two major modules are the EEC IV
module (on fuel-injection models) and the ABS
control module. These are located below the
glovebox on the passenger side, and are
accessible after removing the under-dash trim.
13As with relays, testing by the home
mechanic is limited to substitution of known
good units. This is likely to be prohibitively
expensive on a trial and error basis so in case
of problems a Ford dealer or other competent
specialist should be consulted at an early
stage.
1Disconnect the battery negative lead and
unlock all the doors before starting work on
the central locking system. Make sure that the
keys are outside the vehicle before
reconnecting the battery on completion.
2Remove the door interior trim panel.
